Colin Firth is set to star in New York Will Eat You Alive, an adaptation of the Zombie Brother digital comic.

According to Deadline, Todd Strauss-Schulson will direct the film.

The news was announced by Adam Fogelson, Chairman of the STXfilms Motion Picture Group, and Edward Cheng, CEO of China Literature and Tencent.

“We always wanted to cast this in a way that would give life to the source material and elevate the action and you can’t achieve that goal any better than hiring Colin Firth,” said Fogelson. “From The King’s Speech to Kingsman, Colin always gives an Oscar-calibre performance. We’re thrilled to be reuniting with him on New York Will Eat You Alive in a role that will allow him to have fun while showcasing his deadpan humour and comic timing.”
